This year, Connecticut ACDA seeks to be together, on purpose. We will…

Be a community that shows up.
We will make the time to be present for one another—to gather, to listen, to sing, to learn, and to celebrate the work of our colleagues, even when it is inconvenient. We believe community grows when we choose to show up.

Promote a culture of generous sharing.
We will share our ideas, resources, questions, successes, and discoveries freely, knowing that what we learn from one another makes all of us better. There is no shortage of wisdom in our community; we want to make sure it is moving.

Create opportunities to connect, collaborate, and celebrate.
We will create meaningful opportunities to build relationships beyond our own classrooms, schools, and corners of the state. Through singing, conversation, mentorship, and shared experiences, we will make space for the joy of being in good company.

Play an active role in creating the community we want.
We will not wait for community to happen around us. We will take initiative, share ownership, and help create the choral community we want to be part of—one that is generous, welcoming, connected, and stronger because we each choose to contribute.
